Suitability for Different Businesses in Tasmania

In Tasmania, it's well known that the business landscape is just about as diverse as the rugged terrain.

The GoPro Hero 12 seems to be a promising addition to several business ventures, and from our own personal insight, we believe particularly to those that require outdoor and movement-based videography.

For instance, Matt from Trout Tales Tasmania has been successfully using a GoPro to capture different perspectives of their trout fishing adventures.

This first person footage often compliments cinematic work, but seems to be a hit with viewers who love the perspective the GoPro brings like they are the ones doing the fishing.

The GoPro Hero 12, with its enhanced capabilities, is a potential to elevate the visual storytelling experience to a whole new level.

However, we feel it's important to note that we feel the GoPro Hero 12 might not be an appropriate solution for every business.

While it offers great features, we believe it serves as a fantastic secondary or action camera rather than a primary device for creating videos.

Small businesses looking to make corporate or cinematic style videos might find more suitable options elsewhere, such as through a DSLR camera or the use of a phone with professional audio solution like a plug-in microphone.

Moreover, while the GoPro phone app has come a long way, our personal experience and feedback from clients indicate that it still isn't as useful as downloading the files and using a computer for editing and other post-production tasks.

Bloggers and influencers might find the portability of the GoPro Hero 12 beneficial. Its compact size and quality make it a handy tool for content creators on the move, adding a touch of professionalism to their content without the hassle.
